Roguecraft GB | GB Studio Central The dungeons of Moredecoom await… a deep dive with EGVroom on how he ported a modern classic to the Game Boy Color.

This is a great write up/interview with @egvroom.bsky.social about Roguecraft GB. It’s worth a read just for the fact that it provides the definitive achievement requirements that I don’t think were clearly defined anywhere else. Time to try for that pacifist run. gbstudiocentral.com/spotlight/ro...

A new game boy nonogram/Picross game! I’ve only played a few minutes so far but it’s super polished and I’m looking forward to digging in.

It’s only published on their discord from what I can tell. It’s described as, β€œa simple top-down adventure for the Game Boy, starring Motto, our mascot… and can be played in a single sitting once you get the hang of the mechanics.

@egvroom.bsky.social any hints on that last secret and chests? I’m pretty sure I checked the map on every floor for unexplored doors/rooms.

thisJUSTin414's review of Roguecraft DX | Backloggd The GBC version is a great dungeon crawler. The gameplay loop is really fun and the music is amazing. I only wish it had a save/resume option because runs take a while.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Is there somewhere to see what each achievement was once they’re unlocked? Some are obvious but others not so much.

Run #2. Wish there was some sort of pause/save and resume feature because these can be pretty long. So I’m using @playtiles.bsky.social instead of playing on hardware.

Ok wasn’t sure if it was that or an ordering thing. The way the character is splitting it looked like a floor texture was being displayed over it.
